From the end of October, trees and other plants, such as hedges from the open ground, can be planted in the garden again. The trees then go dormant, the leaves fall off the tree and it takes another six months before it is green again.  Many trees are dug up with a ‘bare root’, so there is no soil left. It is of course very important that the roots do not dry out. Some trees and conifers are ‘nailed in’ with burlap rags after grubbing. This makes the roots less likely to dry out.

Step 1

To begin with, it is very important that the soil in which you plant is suitable. Soil should not be too wet or too dry. This is where it often goes wrong. Especially in newly built gardens this is the biggest problem. In autumn the soil will generally not be too dry. Watering in autumn is usually not necessary, but sometimes it is. If a tree is in the water for more than 1 day, it is not good. If it takes longer…a tree will die!

Step 2

Roots need to have space. You can also improve soil by mixing in peat and potting soil. Putty sand can be very salty, which is not good for the tree. It is better to replace sand with good soil instead of mixing it. Of course, the best thing is to have a soil sample taken before planting or replace the soil with potting soil.

Step 3

A lot of times forests have been torn down to put a freeway down or build houses. There are many different forms of deforestation that some people might not know of or don’t realize the harm it does to the world. Nowadays there are many different ways to plant trees again. There are search bars where every search you do is one tree that gets planted. But also other initiatives like donations you can do or places where you yourself can plant trees to eventually create some kind of forest. But why is deforestation a thing, what are the different forms and why is it bad?

Deforestation

Deforestation is the process of taking down forests to create space for houses or a freeway for example. The main causes of deforestation are climate change, infrastructure, industrial agriculture, mining and timber logging. Climate change is the leading cause because of wildfires and droughts. Mining is because of the increasing demand for minerals. Timber logging is because of the wooden products we all use. Infrastructure is because of the population growth which leads to a need for cities and more housing. And industrial agriculture is because of meat production, soy and palm oil plantations.

Industrial agriculture

Industrial agriculture is to blame for just about 85% of all the deforestation. Palm oil deforestation is the clearing out of forested areas to start a palm oil plantation. Palm oil is such a largely used product that we can’t afford to let go of it so … Continue Reading ...

These days companies in general try to make everything they produce and sell more sustainable. The reason they do this is because of the climate changes that have been going on for way too long, and are slowly becoming worse and worse. There are a lot of different things going on to try and switch this up, and go against climate change. Some of these are more for the animals, things for animals are cleaning out the ocean, no longer testing on animals, slaughtering less animals for food and such. But also the use of less plastic and more sustainable and biodegradable products is becoming more and more. What are some things that have changed in the past few years?

Supermarkets

When you look at the way supermarkets have been trying to change the packaging and waste of products, you might not notice a lot of change. The changes are slowly slowly working their way into the aisles. Coloured plastic has mostly been changed to regular see through plastic which is more useful in the recycle process. Some things are now packed in carton or recyclable materials, and we can now turn in small plastic bottles as well to get back the small deposit we do when we buy them. These are such great ways to take care of the problem, let’s hope it’ll only progress more and more over the next few years!

Drugstores

Drugstores now often sell things … Continue Reading ...
